What is Pilgrimage: The Road To Santiago? When can I watch it?

Pilgrimage: The Road To Santiago continues tonight, March 30, at 9pm on BBC Two.

The three-part series tracks famous faces – some religious and others atheists – as they swap the comforts and trappings of fame for 15 days to take part in Spain’s Camino de Santiago.

The group – made up of a variety of faiths and beliefs, including Christian, atheist and humanist – will live as simple pilgrims.

Staying in traditional hostels and carrying everything they need on their backs, the seven pilgrims will travel through vast mountain ranges and stunning landscapes in France and Spain as they explore the spiritual meaning of the Camino de Santiago.

They visit historic landmarks and meet incredible people as they slowly reveal their own beliefs and faiths whilst learning more about themselves and each other.

But the journey is tough and the physical challenge proves too much for some and the group comes together as theology debates both divide and unite along the way.

The modern-day pilgrims also begin to question whether a medieval pilgrimage has spiritual relevance in today’s world as they gain a greater insight into the meaning of faith.

BBC religion commissioning editor Fatima Salaria said: ““I am always looking for stories that bring contemporary relevance to my genre; those that are both personal, but also offer audiences a variety of thought-provoking perspectives.

“This new three-part series for BBC Two does just that by combining religious and spiritual debate with insightful moments of self-discovery.”
